There are many reasons to own a laptop computer, especially so for newly college bound students. Laptops give students the flexibility and freedom they need to work on academic assignments anytime, anywhere. Although the College of Business recommends buying a laptop we understand that for some students a desktop is more practical. Some students prefer having a larger monitor, separate keyboard, and a more powerful graphics card.
